Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Savage 99 problem

I have a 1948 vintage Savage 99 in 30 Savage.

I use it occasionally and had it out for a bit yesterday, and put it away. I took it out today and cocked the lever and it will only close about half way. There are no obvious obstructions in the chamber, and all of the moving parts in the rotating mag seem to be ok.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bob
